The War Within Pre-Expansion Content Update Notes—Now Live!

Big changes arrive with the introduction of Warbands, Skyriding, class and system updates, and more with the pre-expansion content update. Take part in a new event, Radiant Echoes, and begin your first steps into the continuing story that will take you into the unexplored depths of Azeroth.

From July 30 to August 26, confront the memories of Azeroth during the new pre-expansion event and collect Residual Memories to purchase new items to add to your Warband collection.

Players who have reached level 70 will receive an introductory quest and then will be directed to visit Dalaran to start. Players under level 70 will be immediately directed to Dalaran.

The event occurs in four stages and cycles between three zones. Portals in Dalaran will be available to take you directly to the event staging area and a return portal is available in each of the event zones so that players can quickly return to Dalaran and head into the next occurrence of the event. When the event is active in a zone, the portal will have an additional golden glow to indicate that it is active.

Players will be able to accumulate Residual Memories to use to purchase items from various vendors in each of the zones. The rewards that can be earned in this limited time event are: item level 480 equipment, 32 slot bag, 30 slot reagent bag, mounts, pets, and a heirloom ring. [LEARN MORE]

Class tokens from Legacy raids are also Warbound and transferable on your account. Class-specific appearances can only be collected by that specific class.
